Rinsing the Ultra Filter Cartridge
The Ultra Filter Cartridge must be rinsed before the system is
used to remove any air and protective solution.
NOTE:
Ultra Filter Cartridge must be rinsed to drain
before use. Rinsing to drain removes storage solu-
tion and air. Do NOT rinse into carbon if present.
Carbon life and/or performance may be affected.
NOTE:
Make sure the Carbon Block Cartridge is NOT
installed in the Carbon Housing.
1.
Direct water from the Permeate Outlet to a drain.
2.
Open the tap or faucet closest downstream to the filter
system.
3.
Slowly open the inlet water valve and allow water to enter
the system.
4.
Press the
FLUSH
button. The Drain Valve will open and
air and water will come out of the drain line. Repeat six
times to ensure all air and storage solution are flushed out
of the Ultra Filter Cartridge.
5.
Allow water to continue to run through the system and out
the faucet for 15 minutes.
6.
Inspect the unit for any leaks and repair as
needed.
7.
After 15 minutes with water flow, close the tap or faucet
and let the system stand without water flow for 15 minutes
to allow trapped air to come out of the hollow fibers of the
Ultra Filter Cartridge.
8.
After 15 minutes without water flow, open the tap or faucet
for five minutes to flush out the trapped air.
9.
Close the tap or faucet.
10.
Press the
FLUSH
button to open the Drain Valve. Repeat
six times to ensure any remaining air is flushed out of the
system.
Sanitizing the System and Lines
The plumbing must be sanitized to eliminate possible contami-
nation that may have occurred during the installation process.
One ounce (30 ml) of liquid chlorine bleach (regular bleach,
unscented 6% sodium hypochlorite) can be used to sanitize
the plumbing. The amount of bleach needed depends on
the system and the amount of plumbing downstream of the
system.
NOTE:
Follow the handling and safety instructions
supplied with the bleach.
1.
Follow the steps in the
Rinsing the Ultra Filter Cartridge
in
the Installation section of this manual.
2.
Turn off the water to the system.
3.
Open the faucet or tap closest downstream to the
system.
4.
Close the Inlet Water Valve and allow the system to
depressurize.
5.
Place a bucket under the “T” or cross fitting at the inlet con
-
nection to the system. Open the inlet drain valve or unscrew
the cap to drain the system.
6.
Press the
FLUSH
button to help drain the system.
7.
When the water flow out of the inlet fitting stops, close the
inlet drain valve and pour the liquid bleach into the inlet
connection fitting. Be careful not to spill bleach onto cloth
-
ing or skin. You may want to add the bleach using a cup.
Reattach the cap on the fitting.
8.
Slowly open the inlet water valve and allow water to flow
out of the tap until the smell of bleach is present.
9.
Immediately close the tap and let the system stand with
no water flow for at least 15 minutes to allow the bleach to
sanitize the pipes.
10.
After 15 minutes without water flow, open the tap and
flush until the presence of bleach is gone. All other taps
should be opened to flush any bleach from the plumbing.
Close the taps.
